It wasn't the tone, it was never the tone, I actually really liked the idea of a Stargate series with a more BSG feel. (Which is what it was always sold as)

It was the fact the show had absolutely zero fucking clue what it was, who it was, what the hell it wanted to do. I swear, watching Universe trying to tell a story was like watching a drunk giant baby wander around new york bumping into buildings and setting off giant domino chains of shattered glass and dreams.

After like 6 or 7 episodes of watching them go around in the same little circle, I said screw it and stopped. And I never heard a single word from anywhere that said I should ever go back. So I didn't.

Although, if they reboot anything Stargate...or anything really, more Robert Carlyle being scruffy and sarcastic, oh gods yes. Robert Carlyle being scruffy and sarcastic for everyone, everywhere. Tasty.

I caught some SG1 and ended up watching the last 2 years quite regularly, I saw the first 3 or so seasons of Atlantis but put it to one side when they ran into the 4th or 5th set of replicators but destroyed their planet in less than 45 minutes.

I gave Universe 10 episodes before deciding it was a bit naff. As for the original film? It's ok but really kinda dull. But it did a very good job of convincing you the characters are on an alien planet.

I loved that effect, though. Technologically, it doesn't make sense, but it's badass.

I was forcibly willing myself to ignore that, but yeah, I hate that shit. It's ridiculous.

Traci Lords? that's some interesting casting.

From my limited sampling (n=3) I don't get the sense that Asylum has really pushed the T&A until their more recent work. PoM appears it could be part of that trend.

So, read an article  regarding Thor: Dark World today. I know the first Thor received a round of "Meh's" that echoes in the hills to this very day. While I personally enjoyed the film, I certainly can see the issues that have been brought up. Well, the sequel still centers in Asgard but with a much more mature Thor and more interesting villain, the Dark Elf, played by Christopher Eccelston.

So, I am warming up to this film, though slowly.
